LONDON (Reuters) - Britain wants an outline agreement with the European Union on the transitional arrangements that will apply after it leaves the bloc by the first quarter of 2018, Brexit minister David Davis said on Wednesday.

"I would be aiming to get certainly the outlines of it agreed, if we could, in the first quarter (of 2018) ... but it's a negotiation," Davis told a parliamentary committee.

Nobody is confronting the great Remainer lie about Brexit
Eight years ago on Sunday, we went to vote in the Brexit referendum. Let’s not forget that most of our rulers never wanted it in the first place.
